Great to visit WAVE for John Boel's final day. He leaves their newsroom with love and respect for his incredible work ethic & journalism. Plus the T-shirts are amazing! He and I started competing against each other in 1989, loving every minute.

6 days on the job with WHAS11 , April 28,1987. Starting a long career covering Louisville's modern day champion of civil rights Rev. Louis Coleman, Jr. As Black History Months ends, found this in an old file! With his bull horn in hand, he uncovered injustice.
